Add terminal API tests and fix silent CSRF reload

[axisrow]

Summary

• Add 35 unit tests covering TTYDManager, CSRF tokens, and terminal route patterns
• Fix silent page reload when CSRF token expires (root cause of "create terminal does nothing" bug)
• Fix button text getting stuck on "Creating..." after failed requests

Test plan

• python -m pytest tests/ — 128 tests pass (93 existing + 35 new)
• Deploy to Sliplane and verify "+ New terminal" creates ttyd2
• Wait >10 min on dashboard, click "+ New terminal" — should show "Session expired, reloading..." then reload with fresh CSRF token
• Verify button resets to "+ New terminal" after any failure

PR Review: Add terminal API tests and fix silent CSRF reload

• Read changed files
• Analyze for critical issues
• Post review findings

Summary

The production fix in index.html is correct and addresses the reported bugs. The tests are well-structured but have a fidelity problem worth knowing about.

---

Issues Found

1. Tests copy production code instead of importing — silent divergence risk (medium)

tests/unit/test_ttyd_manager.py inlines a copy of TTYDManager that diverges from production in two places:

• delete_terminal: The test copy omits the tmux session cleanup (subprocess.run(["tmux", "kill-session", ...])) that exists in production. test_delete_terminal_success passes but never verifies tmux cleanup is called — a future regression there would go undetected.
• list_terminals: The test copy deletes dead terminals inside the lock only. Production calls self._cleanup_dead(tid, info) outside the lock afterwards. Bugs introduced in _cleanup_dead won't be caught by these tests.

The comment # Copied from ttyd_proxy.py for testing is there for a reason (Linux-only deps), but the copies have already drifted. This is the most significant concern with this PR.

2. test_delete_terminal_kill_on_timeout does not test the kill-succeeds path (minor)

mock_proc.wait.side_effect = subprocess.TimeoutExpired("ttyd", 5)

side_effect applies to all calls to wait(). So the second process.wait(timeout=3) (after kill()) also raises TimeoutExpired — it falls into the except (subprocess.TimeoutExpired, OSError): pass branch. The test is actually validating the "both terminate and kill timeout" scenario, not "kill succeeds after terminate timeout." The assertion mock_proc.kill.assert_called_once() passes but the kill-success path has no test coverage.

3. Button briefly re-enabled during 419 CSRF reload window (low)

handleAuthError (line 123) sets a 500ms timeout before reload. But finally runs synchronously immediately after, calling btn.disabled = false. For those 500ms the button is both enabled and shows "Session expired, reloading..." — a rapid double-click could fire a second POST before the reload. The second request will also 419 and trigger another reload cycle, so no data is lost, but it's a minor UX inconsistency.

---

What looks good

• The core fix is correct: 419 now shows user-visible feedback instead of silently reloading, resolving the "create terminal does nothing" bug.
• The finally check btn.textContent === 'Creating...' correctly handles the success path reset without clobbering error messages set by the .then/.catch handlers.
• CSRF token round-trip tests are thorough (tamper, expiry, whitespace, bad base64).
• Route pattern tests cover edge cases (/ttyd no-number, alpha suffix, nested paths).
• No security issues found in the production changes.

Triage of review comments

Comment 1 — Test copy diverges from production (missing tmux cleanup, _cleanup_dead)

Verdict: FIX. Confirmed — test copy was simplified. Fixed: added tmux cleanup in delete_terminal, added _cleanup_dead method, moved cleanup outside lock in list_terminals/get_terminal. Added test_delete_terminal_kills_tmux_session.

Comment 2 — test_delete_terminal_kill_on_timeout tests wrong path

Verdict: FIX. Confirmed — side_effect hit both wait() calls. Fixed with list side_effect: [TimeoutExpired, None].

Comment 3 — Button re-enabled during 419 reload window

Verdict: SKIP. Cosmetic — double-click during 500ms window produces another 419 which also reloads. No data loss or security impact.

Summary

The two issues flagged in the previous review have been properly fixed. The production fix is correct. No new critical issues found — this PR looks ready to merge.

---

Previous Issues — Verified Fixed

Issue 1 — Test copy diverged from production (delete_terminal, list_terminals):

Fixed. The test copy now includes:

• subprocess.run(["runuser", ..., "tmux", "kill-session", ...]) in delete_terminal ✓
• _cleanup_dead() method matching production logic ✓
• _cleanup_dead called outside the lock in list_terminals and get_terminal ✓
• New test_delete_terminal_kills_tmux_session asserting tmux kill-session is invoked with the correct session name ✓

Issue 2 — test_delete_terminal_kill_on_timeout tested wrong path:

Fixed. side_effect is now a list [TimeoutExpired("ttyd", 5), None], so only the first wait() raises and the second returns normally. The test now correctly validates the "terminate times out → kill → kill succeeds" path ✓

---

Production Fix Correctness Verified

createTerminal() on 419:

1. handleAuthError sets button text to "Session expired, reloading..." and schedules reload at 500ms
2. First .then returns undefined
3. Second .then hits if (!data) return; (line 180) — no TypeError, no catch
4. finally re-enables the button; textContent check fails (!== 'Creating...') so no reset
5. Page reloads at 500ms

The if (!data) return; guard is the key piece that makes this safe. The "Session expired, reloading..." text persists correctly until reload.

---

One Observation (not blocking)

test_delete_terminal_success patches subprocess.run but doesn't assert it was called. The tmux cleanup assertion is covered by test_delete_terminal_kills_tmux_session instead. The separation is intentional and acceptable — just noting it so the intent is clear in code review.

---

What Looks Good

• All 35 new tests pass alongside the 93 existing ones
• The if (!data) return; guard prevents 419 from triggering the catch "Error — refresh page" path
• CSRF token tests are thorough: expiry, tamper, whitespace, bad base64, wrong part count
• Route pattern tests cover edge cases: no number, alpha suffix, nested paths, /ttyd0
• No security issues in production changes
